10. SOA - Authentication Web Service 1 Composite Application Flow User/Process Web Service 2 Web Service 3 Web Service N Web Service 1 Web Service 2 Web Service 3 Web Service N Identify and Authenticate - Get Authorizations (IA&A) Travel over network Calls Policy Server/LDAP repository Calls RDBMS Repeat for each step in application flow Often more time than actual service step GemFire eliminates redundant lookups This is also used for Authentication Management for Enterprise Portals GemFire Enterprise GFE

11. SOA - Session/Process State Management Web Service 1 Composite Application Flow User/Process Web Service 2 Web Service 3 Web Service N Web Service 1 Web Service 2 Web Service 3 Web Service N In SOA process state is either Returned as XML between steps Often stored by workflow manager in RDBMS Stored in RDBMS by state aware services GemFire removes latency introduced by network and RDBMS This is also used for Session State Management for Enterprise Portals GemFire Enterprise GemFire

12. SOA – Reference Data Service calls back-end data source to look up same information over and over GemFire removes need to make redundant calls to back end Web Service 1 Composite Application Flow User/Process Web Service 2 Web Service 3 Web Service N GemFire Enterprise Web Service 1 Web Service 2 Web Service 3 Web Service N

13. SOA – XML data transformation Service returns same information over and over (for a period of time) If it is called with the same request GemFire removes need to retrieve data from back end, and transform it into XML.
